Hello all!

I put together a two motor Chiu-ish walker and used a Basic Stamp to simula=
te a uCore. I built the frame from some of the blasphemous LEGO Techniques=
(tm). It came out pretty good, but I had to add a 74HC245 to drive the mo=
tors. Now here's the funky part: I programmed the walker to be phototropi=
c (CdS) and the gait appeared to need tuning when the 'bot righted itself !=
=


Is it possible that the adaptive part of the walker's behavior comes from t=
he 245? =
